Three Man Booth

 In Boo This Man Diva, ThreeManBooth will call out someone or something that really gripes us.

The most interesting thing about Total Divas, beside the KeepItFiveStar Total Divas Recap, has been the view of the WWE from the perspective of the WWE Divas. The second season finale showed us Wrestlemania 30 from that viewpoint, where their concern was whether or not history would repeat itself – The Bellas and Funkadactyls were cut from Wrestlemania 29 at the last minute – or they would be able to have the 14 Divas match for the Divas championship. The hurried anxiety they had for their match is in direct contrast to the moment that preceded them: when Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker, ending the streak, time stood still. This is Reality TV meeting Wrestling. And Total Divas shows us that some Divas excel in front of cameras in the ring and some Divas excel in front of cameras outside the ring. Cameron is a Diva in that second category. She is a reality show natural, displaying an array of classic Reality TV signature moves:

• She has a tiny dog.
• She makes catchphrases: “The bomb[dot]com,” “Chingle Chingle,” and “Girl Bye.”
• She turns her catchphrases like “Girl Bye” into t-shirts and songs
• She freely talks about the intimate details of her relationship, her friends’ relationships or… anything, really
• She’s 99% gif-able

But with Total Divas on hiatus until Season 3 and Tough Enough not coming back… ever, why are we booing Cameron? Because she made the mistake of trying to do “reality” in a wrestling ring!
